Swapping 454 MAG Balancer to 7.4L 330 HP?
 

Hi all

My '88 454 MAG lost a cam lobe and to save the season I am swapping it for a 330 HP 7.4L First Mate reman longblock. I'm in Switzerland and it's the only thing I came across fast...I'll rebuild the MAG over the winter months.

Now my question is:
Can the harmonic damper and pulleys be swapped over?

The flywheel is the same Part# for both Engines, while the balancer is different. Also in the Merc drawings the MAG balancer seems to have a pulley attached?

I doubt any body has EVER pulled a MAG for a 7.4 but I'm sure someone knows about pulleys and balancers...

your help is appreciated

I'm no expert by far but I would assume that if the flywheels are the same pn# that would mean that they are both external balanced engines. I would also assume the pn#s for the balancers are different due to the pulley you are speaking of which I am unfamiliar with. I would also assume that even though the balancers are different they should both be weighted the same and should be interchangable. Just my guess.

yup ....

yes, it will be fine

Thanks for your input! :D
